The author has tried to give the Bedside Book some of the coziness that it ought to have. He has tried to bring the Saints near, to bring them home, to bring them to the very bedside.

Saints for SinnersChrist came not to call saints but to make them — often out of weak, stupid, and sinful men. That’s why the saints are not only models of holiness for us to imitate; they’re reminders that God’s grace can outshine every human flaw. As Alban Goodier’s classic Saints for Sinners shows us, even the greatest saints had to battle the same stubborn vices, temptations of the flesh, and bouts of spiritual dryness that afflict you and me today.

What Is The Bible?Some people look at the Bible and see a collection of stories that teach us how to live good and happy lives.

In this classic work you will discover that the Bible is all of these things, and more.
